The City of Ferndale provides publicly funded attorney representation to indigent defendants with a right to counsel at City expense.
The City of Ferndale seeks to fill one position at 100% of a full-time caseload, or approximately 260 cases per year, and one position at 50% of a full-time caseload, or approximately 130 cases per year, pro-rated based on the contract’s start date. Alternative divisions of caseload and/or number of positions may be considered in order to achieve 1.5 total positions.

Half-time contracts are pro-rated based on the percentage of the full-time caseload, beginning at $60,000.

This week is Work Zone Awareness week. On average, a #workzone crash occurs once every 5.4 minutes in the United States. In Ferndale, our crew and contractors are hard at work in road construction sites and need your eyes on the road.
Please, as you approach a work zone, slow down, be prepared to stop and be careful around large vehicles. Thank you!
